WP Heading Buttons

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 45% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   As per the plugin image this adds H1, H2, H3 etc buttons to the editor window. It’s a big time saver. An admin screen to adjust what gets should would be really nice, but I think most people just want H2, H3 and p (or perhaps “no heading”) – you can definitely get rid of H1 as that’s the post/page title. Big thanks for making this – I was about to try and do it myself
